Translation
"There's no thrette in me." Meaning [something] bold, and manly, and courageous. I cannot say what you have in mind.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Θρέττε· οὐκ ἔνι μοι τὸ θρέττε. ἀντὶ τοῦ τὸ θαρραλέον, καὶ ἀνδρεῖον, καὶ θρασύ. οὐκ ἔστιν εἰπεῖν, ὃ σὺ διανοῇ.

Notes
- Aristophanes, Knights 17, with scholion. (Same entry in ps.-Zonaras, and similarly already in Hesychius theta725.) The untranslatable headword, put into the mouth of a slave, was coined for the context.
